...young woman (Marybeth Hurt) with the spirit of an artist, but no gift for any particular art. Late in life father has divorced mother, who grows more visibly dotty as the knowledge sinks in that he will never return; indeed, he has taken up with a sensible widow (Maureen Stapleton) whom the kids hate despite (really because of) her warmth...
Minnelli is only the latest in a long line of actresses savaged by Simon. He has described Maureen Stapleton as inhabiting "a large, amorphous body out of which protrude flipperlike limbs and a face without a single redeeming feature."

Len Wincobank, the whiz kid property developer, along with Maureen, his secretary-girl friend, have been unashamedly "raping the city centers of Britain and making millions." His freewheeling charisma pulls in Anthony Keating, the clergyman's son raised to be a cultivated and useless esthete, who revolts against his proper past by leaving his broadcasting job to become a property speculator...
